In fact, if you are like me, you may need a digital detox.

It’s where you’ll find quiet, comfort, and tons of relaxation.

Going through a digital detox is no easy task, especially if you try to tackle it at home. That’s why this large, off-the-grid, luxury cabin Airbnb in McCammon, Idaho is the perfect place to go. This vacation rental is large enough for the entire family as it boasts three bedrooms and two bathrooms, comfortably accommodating up to six guests.

This Idaho cabin is tucked away in the mountains, so rather than stare at your screens, you can admire nature. This vacation rental sits on 80 acres with a small stream running through the property. Take a seat on the wraparound porch and watch for wildlife, read a book, or even converse with your family members. It’s practically perfect here.

But what sets this Airbnb apart is it boasts limited solar power, affecting many of the cabin's features including water. You’ll want to do your absolute best to conserve energy, meaning you’ll want to limit your TV and WI-FI usage as much as possible.

While this cabin is available throughout the year, if you wish to visit during the winter, a 4-wheel drive vehicle is required. And, to help conserve power during the colder months, there is a wood-burning stove and a supply of firewood to keep you warm.

And while you’ll certainly feel away from it all during your visit to this cabin Airbnb in McCammon, you are still near all types of incredible, bucket-list-worthy destinations such as Lava Hot Springs (which is less than 15 minutes away).
